Protein Chicken Salad

On game nights, I try to make my Moo something light yet energizing and protein packed. This salad fits the criteria...healthy as usual, but it still feels some how like it could be junk food. Enjoy.

You'll need a big giant salad bowl and as things are ready, you just chop and drop.

2 cups egg noodles, cooked and cooled.
1 chopped Roma tomato
A handful of olives and pepperoncini peppers
2 poached chicken breasts (I over-poach mine maybe 18 minutes total in simmering water), cooled and sliced.
A handful of arugula, mixed greens, and baked kale pieces (wash, oil, salt, 350 oven for about 10 minutes).

The dressing: 1 minced garlic clove, zest and juice from one lemon, olive oil, a touch of balsamic vinegar, a tsp oregano, salt and pepper....Drizzle over salad ingredients, mix well and dig in!
